Reviews ‪tang Palace‬

Two-part review, 1. Service and 2. Food

1. Service
- I think they need more waiting staff and their communication skills need working on.
- from what I could see, Chinese staff spoke only to Chinese patrons (95% of customers were Chinese, which is a good thing BTW). The Kabayan and Indian staff were courteous although the kitchen sent out food in a very random manner > Dim Sum were served last!

2. Food
- Excellent food. Ordered Sweet and Sour Prawns, Beef sizzler with black pepper sauce, Chicken fried noodles, beef wok noodles and steamed rice and, finally, chicken sio mai.
- Dim Sum - 3pcs, came last when we were quite full and chicken stuffing was made of what tasted like low-grade chicken...this was the lowest-grade dish of our meal.
- Sweet and Sour Prawns > very good and just like the UK-style of Sweet and Sour. Excellent portion size and not overly sweet...my favourite dish of the meal.
- Beef sizzler with Black Pepper Sauce > tender beef, with peppers and onions...didn't sizzle but great depth of flavour in the sauce and dish coupled well with plain steamed rice...the Wife loved this dish.
- Chicken Fried Noodles > our 5yr old Daughter loved these noodles..Wife also said they were a good dish.

Overall, a score of 4. Better service could make it a 5 and I think on the next visit will try more side dishes
...their veg dishes looked really nice and were popular with the Chinese diners.

This is not Indo-Chinese, it's an authentic Chinese restaurant, so whilst I understand the low-ratings from other Indian diners, readers should note this restaurant caters to Chinese diners and the food/menu reflects this.

If you're a Sweet and Sour fan, like me, you can't go wrong...it'll be well worth the visit.

Great staff.

Great food. Good service. One of our favorite Chinese Restaurants. Lamb Bao is the best. Not crowded and simple but attractive ambiance if the place.

Fantastic experience... authentic Chinese cuisine and not the indianized version... The sizzling beef was to die for and the edible fungus salad had us worried by name but was delectable.. the karaoke was fun timepass but it suddenly switched to Chinese lyrics in between.. all n all a good place to spend an evening with friends or family and experiment with food

Tang Palace is part of a small chain of authentic Chinese restaurants hugely popular with the Chinese themselves. The other two branches are Tang Palace in Dubai Marina and the original, Mian Dian Wang in International City. Located in the Al Hudaiba Awards Building (next door to Bar B.Q. Tonight) at the flag-end of 2nd of December street and Jumeirah, this flagship-branch boasts an expansive communal dining area where Chinese tourists are brought in (by the busload) to dine. In typical Chinese fashion, there are a number of posh, private dining rooms, where I was lucky enough to have dined. The food at Tang Palace is superb, easily among the best I have had outside International City, Dubai’s unofficial Chinatown. Thankfully there are English speaking wait staff who can guide you through their extensive menu as well as plenty of glossy pictures to help you decide what to order. Service is friendly, fast and accommodating. Prices are surprisingly reasonable.

In my mind, Tang Palace is one of the two best Asian restaurants in the Satwa area (the other being Noodle Bowl on 2nd of December). The truth is, it is probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in Dubai, period, and well worth a detour.

Waste NOT. Want NOT.

I had the honour to attend a book releasing activity in a private room in this restaurant. I was greatly impressed by the quality of food served here and definitely intend to come with my guests in future.
The space was rather limited in the private room with two huge tables filling up the area and the decoration was extremely nice ornamental and traditional. The chairs and the huge tables are of very heavy reddish brown woodwork and a very helpful rotating disc on top of it that helps the different items served to reach in front of every guest. Ambience was cosy and personalised.
As I was an invitee, I didn't order and I don't know the exact names of the items. It was a set menu fixed by the organisers. That's why I will be dwelling but lightly on the food items.
We started by some glass noodles and spinach vegetables- smooth fresh. Then some delectable big and fleshy spring rolls with crunchy exteriors but unfortunately oily too much. Next we had some pieces of pies. Black juicy mushrooms were a treat- so were the pokchoy. Tofu on a burning pot was dry pan fried lightly. Peking duck was quite good with crunchy skin. The whole fish in soya sauce and vinegar was a hit- finished very fast. Lamb ribs with big red chillies were a personal favourite. There were nice herbs and spices in the lamb and properly crunchy outside but soft and juicy flesh inside and well marinated. The prawns were very nicely cooked and fried keeping the spicy sweet and chilli taste preserved. Chicken in red chillies - boneless , was another common favourite- finishing very fast. Nicely salted and spices. A cooking hot pot with Lamb cubes were nice with less spices. Pot stickers were presented last which were lightly fried longish dimsums - again very juicy wit light thin cover of steamed flour. Finally a sweet item with sesame coated ?date pies. Not very sweetish.
For me the toppers were the glass noodles and spinach steamed and the black mushrooms. I didn't touch the noodles after this whole lot. In the non veg section, I absolutely fell in love with the Prawns. They were the best. Lamb ribs were next best with the chicken boneless fries rounding off.
Lots of new items to ruminate and enjoy here. Presented in excellent cutleries and stylish hotpots. Service is unobtrusive and polite. They do look after you well.
Recommended to visit.

Amazing. Just amazing.

We started with the dumplings; how could we not? We were a tad disappointed that the famed pan fried bao were not available on the night we were there. However, the disappointment was short lived following the delivery of bulging plates of the handmade lamb, chicken and vegetable dumplings. Wow! The dumplings use a much thinner casing than the bao which is more like a cake/bun texture. This means that the dumplings really showcase their contents in all their glory. While the lamb ones were unquestionably delicious, the chicken dumplings were a big hit and the freshness of the vegetable dumplings won over even the most steadfast carnivores of our group.

This restaurant is a true gem, and everyone should make time to visit it at some point.
